And All The Stars a Stage

Více o knize

Among the authors of classic science fiction, few can boast the style and intellectual clarity of James Blish, a writer who in all his works has always shown fascination with the problems of thought as well as the external allure of adventure. In "Maps of the Sky," an engaging novel of interplanetary colonization, a diverse group of humans embarks on journeys through space to find new lands and horizons for humanity. The challenges they face are endless: political, ethical, scientific, but above all related to the great theme of knowledge, perhaps the one dearest to Blish. His pioneers not only wonder what awaits them in the universe but also how they will react to unexpected discoveries and unprecedented challenges that a new environment will present to humanity.
